3 points would be huge for either side here. Both teams have a pretty tough September schedule. Next time these two meet is the end of the regular season.

Cavs till I die (or until Valour gets good).

Good to see 7 on the bench for PFC for an away game. Not a big fan of Daniels but he will be important. They need him to be full of pressing and make a nuisance of himself and not let Cavalry settle. They also need to see the best of Manny. He hasn’t been a game-changer recently which is unusual.

We could really use a win here

[shorty]

If we can capitalize on one of these turnovers we definitely have a shot. Manny’s been close twice. Hopefully we get one soon and we get our mojo back.

Ugly half of football

oh my...very soft penalty given to cavalry and bevan scores...1-0 early in the second

[jonovision]

Not sure how that was given as a penalty, but I won't complain about the result. 

[Aird25]

That’s a ridiculous call. Clear Calgary encroachment on the penalty too. Gazdov had plenty of time to come claim it initially though.

Pretty sure KDL wasn’t in line with Didic and TMG though on the cross. If he had the whole thing would have been moot. Agreed though: soft call. 
 

Nice save by Carducci on Ongaro.

scores stay the same and stays at the top

[shorty]

I take it back. The line was good. Just a soft call.

What would that have changed? He had position, he was just shielding waiting for the keeper to claim

Shame this is decided by an incredibly weak pen call. Cavs slightly better this game IMO.
